diesal Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 4 Location: Registered: March 2008	Pests/Diseases Magnolia Little Gem Posted 154 days ago pests/diseases in Magnolia Grandiflora Little Gem Posted 4 days ago I seem to have a pest and/or disease problem with my Magnolia Grandiflora Little Gem and would like to know if anyone else has experienced the same problem and how I could nurse my tree back to healh before it gets worse. Something seems to be eating the green part of the leaf and leaving behind the brown support structure, what can be doing this? I have noticed a few small snails on the leaves lately and the new leaves seem to be curly in shape.I hope someone can help. _________	0 0 Alert moderator

Try a night time check with a torch to see if you can spot the blighter. A lot of critters do their damage at night. Once you have done an ID, seek some help from a local nursery for elimination. If it turns out to be snails then just use snail bait around the soil.	1 0 Alert moderator
